I started potty training my little girl last Thursday, she is 26 months. I waited till she started showing signs like, sitting on the potty, hiding her face when she pooed, not wanting a nappy on. I would wait till your child is ready, and not to force the issue or you end up going backwards. That said when you start do not give in and go back to nappies as that just confuses them. Good luck!

Both of my boys pottytrained right around their second birthday and Kellen doesn't wear diapers at all except for at night. So far potty training two boys what has worked best for us is give them a few weeks of setting the timer and pottying every 20 minutes or so when you are home to get them used to it and then once they have been able to stay dry in between those times and pee on demand in a sense, do away with diapers (in the day) completely. Neither of them would remember to go on a regular basis without me reminding them until they were not wearing any pullups or diapers (or in the first couple days anything!) We did naked bottoms at the house and then underwear when we were out. When we were at home I didn't remind them at all to go and it just took a few accidents to learn that (we still do have little accidents once a week or so) and when we go out, we visit the bathroom on the way into each store/dr office etc. Since I have a three year old also, this was something we were doing anyways. We did do a piece of paper hanging on the wall that he put stickers on for the first week or so (the stickers never earned him anything but he enjoyed getting them and putting them on his chart and counting them) but other than that we didn't do any rewards besides verbal praise and "bragging" about it to his big brother and others who were around.Every child is different though and a friend of mine said..."You never hear of a highschool student in diapers so they will learn it eventually :)" Good luck!

Some kids are easy - and some aren't. I always am frustrated when someone tells you an absolute - even if they're a doctor. The truth is every child is different and everyone his their readiness stage at a different time. http://www.pull-ups.com/na/default.aspx is a great resource though to see if your baby is ready and for some good tips.

Jacob does ask to go to the potty sometimes and he has been successful a few times. I only put him on it when he asks (most of the time he asks just so he can get naked). I am not ready (and neither is he) to potty train for real. I do like that he seems comfortable with the potty- hopefully that helps when the time comes. He still wakes up soaked at night and with a pretty full diaper after naps. I don't see the point in training until he can be successful day and night.

Whenever he is ready, I will work with him. Each kid in their own time. Personally, I don'tunderstand why people rush it. If you wait until they are really ready, it should be a quick,painless process.

Early on I was told around 3 for boys. I am definitely in no rush.
